Alana
“You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me.” I headbutt the steering wheel of my
shitty red Pontiac G6 and groan. I’ve only had it for two years, and the
check engine light has been on since the day after the 30-day warranty
expired. Considering the price I paid, it’s no surprise that it’s falling apart.
I’d expected to have enough money saved up for a down payment on an
SUV by this point in my life, yet here we are still driving Greta.
Of course, my battery is dead when I’m already running late for work.
Typically, I wouldn’t give a shit, but I’ve only been bartending for
Hometown Wings and Beer for two weeks. I don’t want my manager to
know that I’m habitually late this early on. I like to ease my bosses into the
fact that I’m lacking punctuality. In hindsight, I probably shouldn’t have
watched that last episode of Schitt’s Creek, but it was the episode where
Patrick serenades David with his rendition of “Simply the Best.” What kind
of sociopath would I be if I turned off one of the most endearing scenes in
television history?
I get out of my car and slam the door. Then, I give the tire a nice kick
for good measure. Hopefully, my neighbor will be home to jump my car
again. I run into the main entrance of my semi-rundown apartment building
and rush up the stairs.
The dilapidated state of the entire complex makes me wonder where all
the rent money the tenants are paying goes. The smell of marijuana and feet
always lingers in the hallways, and the security door doesn’t latch properly.
Ugly interior and exterior aside, the rent is on the lower end of the scale,
and it’s only fifteen minutes away from work. Being the broke bitch I am, I
can’t complain.
My footfalls on the stairs are heavy and impatient, and my foot catches
on the frayed gray carpet at the top. I fall face first, skinning my hands on
the exposed concrete. I consider staying there on the carpet, contemplating
the life choices I’ve made that led me here, but I slowly stand.
As I’m assessing the damage to my hands, the door to apartment
number six swings open. My hands fly behind my back to cover the
evidence of my fall, and I look up at her, smiling.
“Hey Skye, I was getting ready to knock. I’m late for work, and my
battery is dead. Is there any way you can give me a jump again?” I rush,
hoping she didn’t hear me eat shit two seconds earlier. I rub my palms
together while I wait for her answer. The friction helps ease the burn in my
hands.
“Of course, Alana, but you need to buy a new battery. You’ve lived here
less than a month, and I’ve already jumped your car five times. Now, it
doesn’t bother me, so don’t feel you can’t ask me. But what happens if you
get out of work late and there’s nobody around to jump you?” She laughs
while she says it.
